We set up a discrete space-time dynamical model of molecules with thermalised kinetic energy and repulsive cores, in an external potential. The model obeys the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The continuum limit, obtained using a MAPLE program, gives rise to coupled reaction-diffusion equations for the density and temperature fields. The system obeys Onsager symmetry and exhibits the S...

D ufour G land, Harpagoxenus, Heptadecane, (£)-ß-Farnesene, Homofarnesene The volatile components of tlic Dufour gland sccrcticn of wcrlvcrs cf t*!C eint arpoxeni+s sublaevis have been analysed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Over 20 compo­ nents have been identified, consisting of linear and terpenoid hydrocarbons. Each gland contains approximately 6 ng of hydrocarbons with n-hept...

A wide range of tests for heteroskedasticity have been proposed in econometrics and statistics.1 Although a few exact tests are available (e.g. Goldfeld-Quandt’s F -test, its extensions and Szroeter’s procedures),2 common heteroskedasticity tests are asymptotic which may not control size in finite samples. So a number of recent studies have tried to improve the reliability of these tests using ...

The effect of thermophoresis on heat and mass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects over a stretching sheet is investigated in the present analysis. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically using an optimized, extensively validated, variational Finite element method. The influence of key non-dimensional parameters, namely, suction p...
